    Congressman John Lewis: “Get in Trouble. Good Trouble”

    Congressman John Lewis was a monumental figure in American history, whose legacy of courage and unwavering commitment to justice resonated throughout his life. Born on February 21, 1940, in Troy, Alabama, he emerged as a force for change during the Civil Rights Movement, exemplifying the principles of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience.

    A key organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, John Lewis stood alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as one of the “Big Six” leaders, advocating for racial equality and human rights. He epitomized bravery during the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches, where his leadership and sacrifice on “Bloody Sunday” spotlighted the brutal realities of racial segregation, galvanizing support for the Voting Rights Act.

    Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1986, Lewis served Georgia’s 5th District for over three decades, earning admiration as the “Conscience of the Congress.” In Washington, he fought tirelessly for voting rights, healthcare, and social justice, always reminding us of our responsibility to stand up against injustice and “get into good trouble.”

    Even in the face of adversity, Lewis maintained his hope and faith in the fundamental good of humanity. He inspired generations to continue the fight for equity and to push for a more inclusive and fair society. His life and works remain a testament to the power of resilience, humility, and the enduring impact of advocating for what is just.

    John Lewis passed away on July 17, 2020, but his legacy lives on, driving us to pursue a world where freedom and equality are available to all. His words and actions serve not only as a reminder of the struggles of the past but as a beacon guiding us toward a more just and inclusive future.

    Here are some resources where you can learn more about John Lewis’s life and contributions:

    These resources highlight his profound impact and the legacy he left behind in fighting for equality and justice.
